Re: Backup

Yes...if you are using nothing but the open file agent, you
need to manage it all through ArcServe.
It's generally less problematic and much cheaper to skip the
open file agents, use SQL Server native backups, then backup
the SQL Server backup files to tape.

I'm not sure what you mean to a disk. I want the data to be back up on a
tape like the rest of the data in my network: using arcserve v11 incremental
with grandfather-father-son rotation. Also, I'm not backing up the .bak
files, I'm backing up the .mdf and ldf right from the \Data directory under
Microsoft SQL. Would that make a difference?

I have a windows 2003 server(let call it server a) running arcserve v11
with
backup agent for SQL. I have another server (server b) running SQL. I
can
not get the SQL databases from server b backup up on to the tape I have on
server a. All I see on server a is the basic SQL databases that get
installed when the agent is installed. Can someone tell me why? Thank

RE: Backups have Shadow Copy Problems... and restarted the server.... suggested and changed the recovery model to simple on the one database called ... I understand the issue to be: the backup task failed... You back up data from a volume that contains a Microsoft SQL Server...(microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs)
